# Nonogram.com vs The Average game

The clearest difference is ads: The Average game at none against Nonogram.com's shown. The Average game also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 47%). Nonogram.com's advantage is ratings volume (196K vs 5) and chart position (#90 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nonogram.com sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and The Average game sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Nonogram.com against 4.6 for The Average game. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nonogram.com has 196K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 47% of Nonogram.com's written reviews are positive against 67% of The Average game's.
